Chapter 921
"But this student definitely did not put his own name into the Goblet of Fire; I can testify for him!"
"No, the Triwizard Tournament has never had a case of a name being spat out and not participating. Headmaster Dumbledore, I think you wouldn't want that student to die for not following the agreement, right?"
Barty Crouch said coldly. Dumbledore's face became even more serious. It was obvious he was very angry. But in the end, he compromised. He looked at Darren.
His gaze revealed worry.
"Hogwarts champion: Darren Potter."
He announced Darren's name with some lack of energy.
His voice lacked the passionate, smiling tone used when announcing students from other schools.
And although his voice was small, to all the students at Hogwarts, it sounded like thunder.
"You're joking!"
"Impossible!"
"Darren didn't at all!"
"I stay by his side all day!"
They shouted loudly.
Hogwarts was in a mess.
Dumbledore shouted loudly.
Only then did all the voices disappear.
In this silence, he turned to Darren.
"Darren, you go in first..."
Darren showed a shocked and bewildered expression.
"Headmaster, I, I didn't... I can swear, this time it's only for seniors seventeen and older, I'm only fourteen, I..."
【Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the name of the person who put the host's name in, congratulations to the host for obtaining the reason Voldemort wants to see the host.】
Name: Cedric Diggory.
Reason Voldemort wants to see the host: Wants his cub to see the success of a so-called big shot at the last moment.
Uh.
Darren had some guesses about the reason Voldemort wanted to see him.
But Cedric putting his name into the Goblet of Fire, he really didn't expect that.
Good heavens.
He even saved Cedric's dad during the summer vacation!
Alright, although it was his calculation that let Mr. Diggory take a few hard hits and even get fired from the Ministry of Magic.
Cedric wouldn't have found out, would he?
Darren was thinking about the possibility of Cedric taking revenge on him. As a result, he saw Cedric's happy expression.
No way?
Could this guy be thinking of letting him get this spot to express his gratitude to him?
Good heavens.
Returning kindness with enmity! Well, that's it too.
If those people wanted Cedric to help him put his name into the Goblet of Fire, it would be very simple.
Just let Cedric know that Darren wanted to participate in this competition but couldn't because of his age.
Cedric would definitely find a way to help him participate.
Darren really wanted to sing him a song, "Listen to me, thank you..." However, he naturally couldn't sing.
And at this time, Snape had already interrupted his words.
He looked furious, but still tried to mock him in a normal tone: "Of course it couldn't be you; if little Potter had this brain, he would probably have dominated the Ministry of Magic long ago.
Dumbledore, I think this is a prank; someone must have deliberately put little Potter's name in.
Now... stand out, don't make me investigate!"
Darren saw Cedric looking a bit hesitant; maybe he didn't intend to stand up. Why?
Although he wasn't surprised that he was participating in this Goblet of Fire, the fact that Cedric dared to make decisions for him so casually made him a bit angry.
So Darren used 100 Saintly Father Points to control Cedric into raising his hand.
"It's you!"
Cedric probably didn't expect that he would just raise his hand so carelessly.
But he ultimately felt he was doing a good deed.
So he said somewhat embarrassedly: "It, it's me..."
Alright.
When he admitted it, he himself realized where he had gone wrong.
Darren curled his lips.
He pretended to be hesitant and asked as if worried about Cedric's emotions: "Senior... do you have any unspeakable difficulties? Or did I do something wrong? Why do you want me to participate in the Triwizard Tournament like this?"
【Ding, Saintly Father Value +100】
【Ding, Saintly Father Value +100】
【Ding, Saintly Father Value +100】
【Ding...】
His words won a bunch of Saintly Father Points.
No one felt that being signed up by someone else without knowing it was a happy thing.
Only Darren could ask Cedric why he did this in such a kind way.
If it were them, they would probably have already started cursing.
"I think everyone knows the reason why Mr. Diggory treated you like this. Of course, it's because you drove Mr. Diggory's father out of the Ministry of Magic during the summer vacation!"
Snape said mockingly.
Although it sounded like he was speaking for Darren, he was actually looking at Cedric with cold eyes.
It seemed he wanted to kill Cedric.
Finally, he said angrily: "Dumbledore, I think Hogwarts doesn't need this kind of student, this kind of person who makes decisions for others at will..."
His words stopped.
Because the Goblet of Fire, which they thought should have been extinguished long ago, suddenly sprayed out another slip of paper.
Dumbledore caught it in his hand.
"Harry Potter!"
